Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The following glasses should be ranked from highest to lowest softening temperature:

  • Pyrex TM
  • Lime glass.
  • Vycor TM.

Concept introduction:

The softening temperature of the glass is the point at which glass material softens beyond some arbitrary softness. At this temperature the glass changes from exhibiting solid to exhibiting liquid characteristics. Every glass has a different softening temperature depending upon their own atomic structure.

This is different from the glass transition temperature. In glass transition, it defines the change of glass in the form of rubber state whereas softening temperature describes the change of solid state into a liquid state.
